Depends on the age. For a 3-5 year old prone to sneaking out on adventures it could be useful.

Just one problem: Mine tended to attempt their escape barefoot.

I would actually live to see some sort of comedy sketch do this with one of those giant radio collars from the 1970s lol

Exactly, for toddlers/children this can prove to be useful. This is not a product for older children or even teens, like it is assumed to be.
